賴鈺嬿/ Ruby Yu-Yen LAI
A photographer and visual artist with a background in music, she holds a Master’s degree in Music from Taipei National University of the Arts.
Rooted in music and the performing arts, she gradually turned to photography as a medium for both creation and expression. Her photographic work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions, and her series Flowing Landscapes was selected for the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi International Photography Contest. She has also been invited to give photography talks and lectures at universities and arts organizations.
Her work often draws from music, perception, and personal experience, exploring how abstract sensations—such as time, emotion, and sound—can be translated into photographic and visual language.
Alongside her ongoing photography and visual practice, she founded and runs Sunday Morning Bar, a creative art space in Taichung that hosts photography, performances, workshops, and a range of cultural events. Through this experience, she has developed a growing interest in the relationship between individual artistic practice, independent art spaces, and the wider cultural ecosystem.
She believes that both photography and music are beautiful ways of speaking.
音樂背景出身的攝影師與影像創作者，畢業於國立臺北藝術大學音樂研究所。
從音樂與表演藝術出發，逐漸以攝影作為創作與表達的媒介。作品曾透過個展與聯展發表，系列作品《流動的風景》曾入選新光三越國際攝影大賽，並曾受邀於大學及藝文單位進行攝影相關講座與分享。
她的創作經常從音樂、感知與個人生命經驗出發，關注如何將時間、情緒與聽覺等難以被具體描述的抽象感受，轉化為影像與視覺語彙。
近年除了持續從事攝影與視覺工作，也創立並經營位於台中的藝術創意空間 Sunday Morning Bar，作為攝影、展演、工作坊與不同形式文化活動發生的場所。空間經營的經驗，也讓她進一步關注個人創作、獨立藝術空間與藝術生態之間的關係。
她相信，無論攝影或音樂，都是一種美好的說話方式。
